A few weeks ago, we reported on a DS Kickstarter project from developer Island Officials called Orion's Odyssey: A Pattern Blocks Adventure. The ambitious Kickstarter goal was to raise enough funds to release a limited run retail edition of the unreleased, finished puzzle title. For various reasons, the lofty goal wasn't met - but that hasn't stopped Island Officials from trying again, this time in the form of a more practical goal.

The developer hopes to raise enough money to bring Orion's Odyssey to DSiWare, allowing for a much wider (and cheaper) release. The game combines puzzle gameplay on the touch screen and a story on the top screen that progresses as you play. Island Officials is no stranger to the puzzler genre, having previously developed Hands On! Tangrams for the DS.
